We also include examples of projects carried out by AirGreen , to better illustrate the reality on the ground of this grant.
What is Hydro-Québec's LogisVert grant?
The LogisVert – Efficient Homes program was established by Hydro-Québec to encourage homeowners to adopt energy-efficient equipment. It offers significant financial assistance for energy efficiency work , including the installation of efficient wall-mounted heat pumps , more commonly known as mini-splits .
The program is valid for properties located in Quebec, whether single-family homes, condos, multiplexes or residential buildings with fewer than 20 units , provided that the device is installed in a habitable space and that the property is supplied with electricity.
